Where Did the Little Girl Go?

"Where did my little girl go?" you once asked me

OH ponder....

"What defines a little girl?" I asked

You told me the last thing anyone contemplating suicide wants to hear

 

You told me your little girl was the cutest little thing, she was tiny but mighty, 

She stood up to anyone for justice, she didn't judge and she only loved

You told me your little girl loved you and didn't have a hated face, she was innocent but that didn't stop her

Nothing did, she wasn't scared of the world and she wore a bright pink bow to prove it

You said your little girl was the best thing that had ever happened to you

You said you were proud and then… you went silent…

"Where did my baby go... .....What happened to you?"

 

So I answered with the worse response a desperate mother wants to ever hear

She was never mighty, mommy, she was scared

She stood up for everyone hoping someone would stand up for her, no one did

She didn't judge because she wanted the world to see, to really see her

Yes, mommy, she loved deeply and that is what killed her

She was innocent and that is what broke her, mommy, why didn't you tell me the world was so mean… …

She wasn't scared of the world because you didn't warn her 

Momma didn't you see…! The bright pink bow was there to cover up my bloody bruise he left me, mommy, why couldn’t you just look at me?

You said your little girl was the best thing that had ever happened to you...but why was,

Mommy, what did I do wrong? 

You stopped loving me and started hating me, is sorry not enough

You said you were proud...so now you are not?

 

"Where did my little girl go? Where did my baby go...? What happened to you?"

I grew up, I understood, and now I am dead

Mommy you should have warned me......
